Omega vs Goto G1 Climax 26 had a top 10 finishing sequence ever

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

22:00
Kenny pulled out in sequence

[ Kota Ibushi's finishers ]
Last Ride Powerbomb *goto kicks out*
Phoenix Splash *goto moves*

Goto gets the advantage

Kenny comes back
Hits a v trigger, dragon suplex *goto kicks out*

Goto gets the advantage, Kenny kicks out his finish
*Chono stands in applause

Kenny hits a BLOODY SUNDAY (Devitt's finisher)
Kenny hits a STYLES CLASH (AJ's finisher)
*GOTO KICKS OUT*

Kenny hits a one winged angel
Goto

breh went back and did all his old homies he left in the dust's finisher and won G1

This is still my favorite Kenny Omega match ever, I enjoy the finish more than any of the trilogy, of the naito matches, etc. Many will argue the match vs. Naito the night before was better, and thats cool, all preference...but the symbolism of him pulling out of his former road dogs and now opps' finishers

Then he hit the crowd with Japanese

crowd was

Prime Kenny was really something special

The V-Trigger counts in the list of old opponents finishers too btw - he took Nakamura's Bomaye and renamed it after he left for America.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Kenny’s first G1 tournament and won it light work for The Cleaner

 

[JQ Legend]

The ref was wack tho because he would hesitate with the 3rd count like he was waiting for the kick out

I went to the 4:30 or so mark

Not at all. Kenny had been doing the bicycle knees for years. We're talking way before he even got to NJ.

And Kenny using the old gaijin finishers is a longer story.

Machine Gun did this in his first title match against Tana (before his heel turn). Tana had the Gun Stun scouted so Machine Gun started using older gaijins moves but he ended up still losing. Then AJ did it by using the Bloody Sunday to set up the win against Okada.

Kenny doing it in the G1 final was a continuation of that story.

It's a cool callback. It's like when you become the #1 gaijin you take what was set up before you.

I'm glad you corrected that because I thought I was just wrong or forgetful.

I feel like that finish started the trend of using other people's finishers as a nod to the past. Maybe not started but it's something you seen done a lot more after this.

Made sense for Kenny doing it because it looked like Omega was tapping into the spirits of all the past Bullet Club leaders to pull out the victory raising the stock of Bullet Club to the highest point that stable has ever been... until it got raise to god-tier when they were able to pull off the legendary All In ppv




As for everyone else they just do it to do it

 

[Breh the HitMang]

The prime years of NJPW was something special

I was trying to find the full celebration...but when he dropped the G1 flag like it was trash and put up the bullet club flag

I still think this was my favorite Bullet Club was 2015, but as tweeners in Japan itself, this was their peak. I mean, they turned the crowd twice during this match and again during the celebration.

Omega became a japanese wresting god that day. The AJ Styles era and Omega/Elite era were my favorite eras. The Switchblade era is.... ok though I don't like how Gedo attached himself to the stable I feel like that hurt the group more than it helped. The mini Evil era was just weird and confusing.

I really like Jay White and think he's talented but he was definitely a victim of both general fatigue of the stable, Gedo being all up in the videos dancin, the confusing leadership story between him and GoD which just kind of went away...etc...

I think he will strive in the US if he sticks with it, just not sure if he'll get opportunities to do so in AEW....and his presence in IMPACT did nothing

I'm still confused why Tama never became the stable leader since he's one of the original 4 founders of Bullet Club.

As for Jay White I feel like AEW would benefit tremendously if they book him for a match against Omega later in the year whenever he comes back because there is too much unresolved history between the two to easily hype up a mega match in the states with them. I wonder if in Impact they didn't hype up Jay as much as they should because too many people thought having Omega win the Impact Championship was a mistake so they subconciously not wanting to do the same thing with Jay?
